    After Li Su finished speaking, Wu's expression remained unchanged and she just looked at him quietly.  . We are all smart people, and when it comes to this step, each other knows what they are talking about.  An ambitious woman climbed into the emperor's bed. What did she ask for?  Could it be whipping with dripping wax?  "What do you think your servant is planning, sir?" Wu smiled lightly.  Li Su blinked: "In charge of the harem?" Wu still smiled and said nothing.  Li Su breathed out leisurely: "Have you ever thought about how difficult it would be to sit in that position?" Wu was silent for a moment and said: "I have thought about it, it is indeed difficult." Li Su smiled and said: "Queen Wang is not  She is just a queen. Behind her are the Taiyuan Wang family, the entire Shandong noble family, and even the shadow of the Guanlong clan. Do you think it is possible to leverage her by yourself? " Mrs. Wu also laughed: "Of course it is impossible.  I am left alone and helpless. Although I am from Duke Ying's mansion, they have long since disowned me and are even less likely to help me. Even if they could help me, Ying Guogong's family is now in dire straits and cannot protect themselves. I have never counted on this.  Their help." Li Su nodded: "Not only that, from the moment something happened between you and His Majesty, you and Queen Wang became enemies. The harem is a place for people to eat people. You know the dangers better than I do.  Come down, the Queen may deliberately befriend you with ulterior motives, or may target you directly, and you, the only supporter in the entire palace is His Majesty. Even if His Majesty is slightly negligent, you may be thrown into the well by the Queen.  In other words, from now on, your personal safety may not be guaranteed, let alone replacing the queen. Do you understand this? " Wu's smile gradually became forced.  She had considered what Li Su said, and she had even thought that her situation in Tai Chi Palace would become very difficult. After all, she had to face not only the hostility of Queen Wang, but also the nobles behind Queen Wang.  To be honest, it is almost impossible to leverage the status of Queen Wang. Although Wu is ambitious, she is not arrogant and knows how much she weighs.  She didn¡¯t think too much about it at the time. It was probably a man and a woman, especially since this woman was quite pretty, so it was inevitable that things would go wrong if they were in the same room together.  However, climbing onto Li Zhi's bed does not mean that he will be prosperous in the future. If you think about the consequences carefully, Wu's future fate is actually very dangerous.  What happens after that?  Wu didn't think too far. The harem was so big, and with the emperor's favor, couldn't she go sideways?  But the fact is that she really can't walk sideways, and her life is even in danger.  It's easy to survive. From now on, you can swallow your humiliation and submit in front of the Queen, and hold the Queen up high like a slave. Maybe in ten years, you can be given the title of concubine, and then continue to swallow your humiliation and submit in front of the Queen, probably for the rest of your life.  That¡¯s it.  But Wu¡¯s ambition could not be satisfied just by being a concubine.  What does she want?  It's just the word "power".  There is a queen on top, how much power does she get?  In particular, there is an almost unshakable backer behind this queen, and even Li Zhi has to be a little careful with her.  After thinking about this, Wu suddenly felt cold all over.  Looking at Wu¡¯s increasingly pale face, Li Su smiled.  "It seems that Miss Wu is aware of her situation." Mrs. Wu opened her lips slightly, murmured a few times and then pursed her lips in silence.  Li Su sighed: "Actually you don't have to be hostile to me. I have never had any intention of harming you. When I rescued you from Yeting, it was not to harm you." Mrs. Wu was shocked.  He said hurriedly: "I have no hostility towards you, sir. Please don't accuse me unjustly." Li Su smiled and said, "I understand that no matter what class a person goes to, he must eventually set a goal for himself. Maybe it is  The person you wanted to get rid of at the beginning may be the person you looked up to and admired and wanted to surpass. The longer time goes by, the easier it is for such emotions to turn into hatred. Miss Wu, this is probably how you feel towards me, right? " Wu  Shi looked at him in shock, unable to speak for a while.  In just one sentence, he saw through her again, even more clearly than she did herself.  "I, my slave, have not" Mrs. Wu defended feebly.  Li Su smiled and waved his hand: "The world says that I have no ambitions. I obviously have a lot of skills, but I still don't want to get too involved in the court. I would rather spend my days lazily at home. But the world doesn't know that laziness also has its benefits. If I have nothing to do, I will do it."  I often sit in the yard at home in a daze. Guess what I am thinking about when I am in a daze? " "I am thinking about people, thinking about every person I know, I always secretly wonder whether this person is an enemy or not?  friend?Is this person thinking about me too?  What is this person's temperament?  How should I respond when I come into contact with him in the future?  Given his temperament, how would he likely react if something happened?  " Li Su smiled and spread her hands: "You see, in fact, being in a daze is not leisure. There are too many people and things to think about, but I always think this is a good habit. This good habit has saved me many detours and made many mistakes.  I made many friends, and more importantly got to know many enemies.  " Li Suyue said, Wu's face became paler. Staring at Wu's face, Li Su smiled and said: "Whether you believe it or not, I really have never had any intention of harming you. In fact, you are also a poor woman.  She has great ambitions, but she hates that she is born as a girl. Everyone in the world yearns for power, and some people strive for it all their lives. However, it is a hundred times harder for a woman to walk this path than for a man. It is not easy for you to walk without any resentment or hatred.  Why should I harm you?  " Mrs. Wu was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Master, slave I'm sorry for you.  " Li Su sighed: "Your hostility towards me is probably due to your own psychology. You judge others by yourself. If there is someone who can see through me at any time and at any time, everything I think and do will be under his control.  I will also get rid of him quickly. This is just human psychological instinct, so I don't blame you.  " With a smile on his face, Li Su said: "Having said so much, I just want to tell you, don't regard me as your enemy. You have many enemies, and there will be more in the future. They are in the palace or outside the palace, but there are absolutely no enemies among your enemies.  Without me, not only that, you and I are even allies who must cooperate. At least in the next ten years, our alliance will not break up.  " When Wu heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at him in surprise. " Ally friend?  " Li Su smiled and said: "Yes, you and I may have common enemies, and we may also have common interests. For the time being, we both lose.  " Mrs. Wu gradually sat up straight, her expression becoming solemn. "Please also make it clear, sir, who is the common enemy?  What are the common interests?  Li Su did not answer and asked instead: "Do you know what the late Emperor Taizong said to me before he died?"  "Wu Shi shook his head." Li Su said slowly: "I talked about many things, one of which wasthe noble family and the noble clan."  " Mrs. Wu's eyes lit up, her expression suddenly enlightened. Li Su added: "Do you know how long it will take to weaken the power of the clan and the noble clan?  " Mrs. Wu stopped talking and shook her head. Li Su said slowly: "A lifetime, or even longer.  " Wu nodded. On this point, she could not deny Li Su's point of view. Li Su added: "Now you know who our common enemy is, then, do you know what our common interests are?  " Wu finally smiled: "Power.  " Li Su shook his head: "Power is what you want. What I want is to gradually restore the vitality of the Tang Dynasty within ten years. But you and I have the same goal. We weaken the noble gentry, then open the imperial examination, recommend poor people, and let the children of poor families gradually replace the powerful gentry.  Only with great power can the Tang Dynasty be able to connect people and govern the country and lay the foundation for a prosperous age. Therefore, our interests are the same.  " Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "Yes, what Mr. Gong said makes sense.  " Li Su also laughed: "You and I must help each other when we form an alliance. You need a force from the court to support you as a bargaining chip in your fight with the queen. And I need you to cooperate with me after taking power in the future to promote the New Deal and improve the imperial examination.  and various people's livelihood policies. Do you have any objection to this?  " Mrs. Wu's smile became brighter and brighter: "Not at all. I only follow your father's lead.  " Li Su smiled and said: "You and I are still young, and it may take a lifetime to accomplish this. I hope that the relationship between you and me as allies will always be strong. In comparison, you have more enemies in the palace.  You have been busy these past few years. You should help His Majesty with more advice on court affairs. Your Majesty is still young and will inevitably not think carefully about many things. With your help, you can avoid many detours.  " Mrs. Wu's eyes flashed, and she suddenly smiled and said: "Assisting His Majesty in handling government affairs, aren't you worried that your servant's ambition is getting bigger and bigger?  " Li Su sighed with a smile: "You have to force me to say hurtful words Let me tell you this, I'm not dead yet, you can't change the world.  " Wu's smile froze and her expression became serious. Li Su smiled again and said: "Of course, I hope that the process of our alliance will be pleasant and that we will fall in love and never leave each other. If you are willing to live in peace, I will protect you to the end.  Does Miss Wu agree?  " Mrs. Wu nodded and said slowly: "I have no other ideas, sir. You must believe me.  "    "I trust you.  " After hesitating for a long time, Wu suddenly said softly: "I heard that the Agricultural School lost rice seeds a few days ago?  ¡± Li ?Blinking: "Are you just talking? What does it matter to me if Nongxue loses rice seeds?" Wu hesitated and then said: "There is also a Japanese monk who died" Li Su sighed and said: "If you  If you really have nothing to say to me, you might as well sit in the room with me and be in a daze. Don't talk to me about such boring things, or go and talk to my wife. You women like to talk about these trivial things. " See Li Su.  He seemed to have no intention of admitting these two things, and his expression showed no interest. Wu's originally firm guess wavered for a moment, and then he sighed quietly.  After getting down to business, the noise came from the front hall again. The veterans¡¯ drinks were getting worse and worse. In the distance, Cheng Yaojin¡¯s cursing voice could be heard, as if he was drinking like crazy.  Li Su sighed helplessly and murmured: "If I have a son, I will definitely sprinkle a boy's urine that has poisoned and detoxified in their wine jar It's a pity, I am no longer a boy." He smiled at Mrs. Wu.  , Li Su said: "There is something going on with the elders in the front hall. I'll go take a look. Miss Wu can just go and talk to my wife" After saying that, Li Su stood up.  Madam Wu suddenly stopped him and stared at his face intently. For a long time, Madam Wu's eyes turned red and she said softly: "I actually had a better choice at the beginning. If the father-in-law had the same feelings for me at that time,  If this happens, this servant will be completely devoted to the Lord" Li Su was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "Now you should be completely devoted to His Majesty, don't hurt him, don't betray him." After saying that, Li Su turned and left.  Mrs. Wu sat alone in the room, her tears finally falling slowly.  If you had never left, you must have been very happy during these two years in the county government, right?  "Power" and "happiness" seem to always be contradictory. You can only choose one or the other. She has made her choice.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, only eternal interests.  The relationship between Li Su and Wu perfectly explains this sentence.  In fact, from the time they met until now, Li Su and Wu had no sworn hatred. On the contrary, their interests were often linked together.  Li Su knew that Wu had hatred for him in her heart. Part of this hatred came from the psychological shadow that Li Su had given her for a long time, and part of it came from the fact that love between men and women was unavailable, so love gave rise to hatred.  Now that everyone has their own destiny, those grudges in the past seem so ridiculous now.  "Compared with the turbulent world situation and the battles in the court, what is this small grudge between Li Su and the Wu family?"  Now that they have common enemies and interests, it is natural for Li Su and Wu to join forces.  After seeing off Wu and the drunken veterans, Li Su still stood at the door of his house, staring blankly at the setting sun in the distance.  A pair of catkins caressed Li Su's shoulders, and Xu Mingzhu's voice came from behind.  "What are you thinking about, husband?" Li Su didn't look back, smiled, and said, "I'm thinking what should I eat tonight? Should I cook a few delicious dishes myself, make a pot of iced grape wine, and enjoy it alone?  "Pour and drink alone." "Why are you in such good spirits today?" "The most important part of the plan for the next ten years is certainly worthy of celebration." Xu Mingzhu thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "Because Wu  "Girl?" Li Su didn't hide it from her and nodded: "Yes, because of her. Madam, don't underestimate this woman. Given time, she will rise to the top. There are many things I have to do in the future. With her help,  It¡¯s half of the burden for me, but it¡¯s a bit hard to both use and guard against this woman, but it¡¯s worth it.¡± ¡°A woman is worthy of being valued so much by her husband?¡± Li Su sighed: ¡°She is.  She was supposed to be the most dazzling star in history, but her achievements were all due to circumstances. Now that I am here, history may be different. "Xu Mingzhu was confused when she heard this."  "I'm so stupid, I can't even understand what my husband said." Li Su laughed and said, "It's normal not to understand. No one in this world can understand me. Let's go, madam, follow me into the house. I'm very drunk today."  "How about you, Madam, make an exception and drink some grape wine with me?" Xu Mingzhu smiled: "Since my husband is so elegant, I will definitely accompany you" The couple walked back, and Li Su suddenly held her hand.  Xu Mingzhu¡¯s hands are relatively rough. When she crossed the Xizhou Desert to save him, her hands were scratched by the sand and many scars were left on her hands permanently.  Every time he held her hand, Li Su felt infinite emotion and guilt in his heart, and the strength of his hand became tighter.    "Madam, after drinking with me, how about handing Zhen'er over to the maid tonight?" Li Su whispered in her ear.  Xu Mingzhu said confusedly: "Why? Zhen'er has always slept with me" Li Su smiled broadly and lowered her voice and said: "Let's work hard and create a few more little Zhen'er to pinch the fingers for my husband.  After all, tonight is an auspicious day for the birth of a human being. If you use the three postures of 'somersaulting butterfly', 'carrying a flying duck' and 'yining ape and hugging a tree'" Xu Mingzhu's pretty face turned red, and she was embarrassed.  Feeling ashamed.  "Husband, youin broad daylight, you actually" Before she could finish her words, Xu Mingzhu ran away in shame.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Dongyang Taoist Temple.  A branch of red apricot came into the wall.  Li Su put up a ladder and put his hands on the wall of the Taoist temple, refusing to go in or get down.  Dongyang was wearing a plain Taoist robe and stared at him from the wall with a dumbfounded look on his face.  "After all, you are now the Duke of the dynasty. How can you behave like this? It's a joke! If you want to come in, be careful and go down the ladder. What's the matter with lying on the wall?" Li Su said with a smile: "I won't come in.  , you are observing filial piety now, I can't ruin your reputation, it's good for us to talk like this." Dongyang sighed: "I have seen many dignitaries in the Tang Dynasty, but you are the only one who is so unique. Anyway, I have never seen it.  "Oh, you have to get used to this. I will often lie on the wall. Whenever you miss me, just put a paper kite in the yard and I will come over with a ladder to talk to you."  She glanced at him and said: "Aren't you busy? The new emperor has just ascended the throne and will inevitably implement the New Deal. You are a hero of Conglong. You often tell me that you will assist His Majesty in creating a prosperous Tang Dynasty. You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, but you still haven't done it properly.  "Of course I'm very busy, but no matter how busy I am, I can't forget you. After three years of keeping filial piety behind closed doors, you are too lonely inside. I feel sorry for you. Come and see me and talk to you, lest you walk out and forget after three years."  "You know what I look like." Dongyang chuckled: "You, even if I burn you to ashes, I can figure out what you look like." "The words are good, and you can hear the deep affection in them.  It looks weird" Dongyang looked up at him on the wall and said softly: "We used to go to the river beach, do you still go there now?" Li Su said with a smile: "We rarely go there without you.  Now, the river beach has become boring, but the scenery remains the same. Even the big rock you sat on is still there. I gave it a name, "Intimate Contact with Her Highness Princess Dongyang's Ass"  The name is too long and convoluted, so I just call it the 'Fart Stone'" Dongyang suddenly blushed and sighed: "Don't you know how to choose a good name at any time?  That¡¯s not serious.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give it a serious name How about ¡®Gentle Years¡¯?¡± ¡°It sounds ugly!¡± Li Su sighed in frustration: ¡°I will definitely take this name out of my mind in my lifetime!¡±  His posture was inelegant, but it was obvious that Dongyang was still very happy, and his eyes were shining with brilliance.  "Tell me about what's going on in Chang'an City? Have you gotten into trouble recently? Have you offended anyone?" Li Su sighed: "I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to go out and offend people. Let's talk about it when we're free. There's nothing new in Chang'an City.  I am currently preparing to draft a memorial at home to advise on the new policy. If His Majesty approves the memorial, there will be controversy in the court. Well, I am ready for battle" Dongyang frowned: "Is the new policy you come up with very radical?  I don¡¯t think it¡¯s too radical. We should promote trial planting of improved rice seeds, reduce taxes on farmers, encourage private merchants to build workshops, recruit farmers to work during slack periods, hold imperial examinations, strengthen the banks of the Yellow River, expand the Tang Navy, build treasure ships to go to sea, explore and  Conquering new continents and introducing new species, there is one more important thing" Li Su said, looking into Dongyang's eyes, and said slowly: "There is one more thing, the abolition of the marriage system of princesses in the Tang Dynasty. From then on, the diplomacy of the Tang Dynasty  The soldiers can solve the problems that cannot be solved with swords, so there is no need for the women of the Tang Dynasty to serve the tigers and wolves with their bodies. If necessary, the other country can use their own princess to marry the prince of the Tang Dynasty. We can accept such a marriage. " Dongyang said movedly.  : "You still remember" Li Su sighed: "Many tragedies can actually be avoided with just one decree." "I'm afraid many courtiers will not agree to these new policies, especially the abolition of the princess marriage." "No rush, I  Be patient and spend time with them. My life is still very long, but theirs is not so long. Ten years, twenty years, one day, I will dance on their graves"Dongyang stared at him deeply: "You are not yet thirty years old, but your life has been very exciting. I am looking forward to what you will do next, how to gain a foothold in the treacherous court, and how to deal with those  The conservative courtiers are fighting, how to influence the situation of the court, how to weaken the clan" Li Su was silent for a while, and whispered: "That will happen in the next ten years. Maybe, it will be really exciting, or maybe, I  Suddenly one day I was tired of such a life, and disappeared without saying a word. " Dongyang smiled and said: "I will disappear with you. I really look forward to your next ten years, Li Su, and make a good career.  These achievements not only left a name for history, but also benefited the people of the world. When he was alive, my father always said that it was a great blessing to have a righteous son in the Tang Dynasty. Remember this sentence and don¡¯t live up to it. ¡±¡­¡­¡­¡­ Tai Chi Palace,  Anren Hall.  Li Zhi and Li Su were sitting opposite each other. Li Zhi was holding Li Su's fresh memorial in his hand, and his brows were frowning more and more as he looked at it.  Li Su looked at the furnishings in the hall calmly and turned a blind eye to Li Zhi's expression.  After a long time, Li Zhi closed the memorial and sighed.  "Zizheng, this memorial is very heavy" Li Su smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you think it is inappropriate?" Li Zhi sighed: "In fact, every article is fair and reflects the country's heart, and it is written very realistically. If it is implemented,  , It will be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately, the courtiers will not agree, especially the old ministers like Chu Suiliang, the uncle of the eldest grandson" Patting the memorial, Li Zhi shook his head: "If your memorial is read out in the Taiji Hall, the courtiers will  What¡¯s causing trouble is the abolition of princess marriages, the imperial examinations for poor people, etc. Most of the officials in the court are from noble families. How can they allow such a new policy to be implemented? " Li Su nodded: "This is unexpected.  Therefore, I only show this memorial to His Majesty and do not intend to show it to the court." "What does Zizheng mean by this?" Li Su said, pointing to the memorial: "It is actually for the next ten or even twenty years.  I never expected that the courtiers would agree to the outline of the work for the year. It doesn¡¯t matter. Take your time and pick the easy implementation first. For example, this year, the minister will only propose the implementation of improved rice seeds, and all the people in the Tang Dynasty who can cultivate rice will be  All the fields will be replaced with improved rice seeds. It will be completed in five years. Then, five years later, I will propose the second and third items. After a few years, I will propose the third item.  Fourth and fifth, take your time, I am still young, and everything I will do for the rest of my life will be all about this memorial. When I get old and return to my official career, if I can complete all the things listed in this memorial,  Once it's done, I'll be very impressive." Looking up at Li Zhi, Li Su said solemnly: "Of course, all this still requires your Majesty's consent. If your Majesty can always agree with my political views and always stand on my side, I will do my best.  Things will be much easier, and the Tang Dynasty will surely achieve the eternal prosperity of the Zhenguan Dynasty under your Majesty's rule. If you don't change your reign so frequently, your Majesty's evaluation in the history books will not be inferior to that of your father. "  Li Zhi was suddenly moved. He opened the memorial in his hand again and read it carefully from beginning to end. Then he looked directly into Li Su's eyes and said slowly: "This is benevolent government. Why not do it? Zizheng, I will support it."  Yours." Li Su smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty feels that the pressure is too great one day and you can't support it anymore, please tell me in time, and I will leave immediately. It's good for us to have a drink and hunt.  , there is no need to bother with the New Deal. " Li Zhi's face turned red and he said angrily: "Who said I can't support it? Once I have complete control of the court, whoever obstructs the New Deal will be my enemy.  Just get rid of it! In short, I am definitely not the one who retreated!" The two looked at each other, and then laughed.  Li Su said again: "I have one more thing" "Tell me." "From tomorrow onwards, after Your Majesty has dismissed the court, how about running with me in front of the Tai Chi Palace?" Li Zhi was stunned: "Zizheng is really you are jumping  Slow down, I really can¡¯t keep up with your thoughts. Why are you running?¡± Li Su blinked and said with a smile, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be better for you and I, my king and my ministers, to live longer? Enjoy this world and see with your own eyes what you have created with your own hands.  In a prosperous and prosperous age, well, let's strive to live to the age of eighty and die with a smile at the age of eighty. This is a rare longevity in the world. If we die at the age of eighty, we will have enough. If we die too early, we will lose money. " Li Zhi said with a bitter smile: "  I really don¡¯t know why you suddenly mentioned this, runningI¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t stand it.¡± ¡°I will run with your majesty.¡± Li Zhi hesitated for a while and said, ¡°Okay¡± Li Su suddenly looked serious!  Standing up: "You are not joking, but I must take it seriously. Your Majesty must not break your promise, especially to your ministers." Li Zhi sighed as if he was resigned to his fate, and then nodded heavily: "I will never break my promise."  ¡­¡­¡­¡­Three years later, Yonghui three years later.  Dongyang¡¯s period of filial piety has expired, and she walked out of the Taoist temple dressed in plain clothes. There were no guards on duty in front of the Taoist temple. Outside the deserted gate, Li Su and Xu Mingzhu stood under an umbrella, watching her with a smile.  Dongyang Qing lost a lot of weight, and when he left the Taoist temple, he only carried a simple baggage in his hand, and a maid Luliu who never wanted to marry.  The three of them looked at each other and smiled. After many years of ups and downs in love and entanglement with grievances, today finally came to a happy ending.  On the third day of Dongyang's visit, the Duke of Jin invited guests and dignitaries from Chang'an to marry Dongyang in all splendor.  At that time, Li Su was still the right minister of Shangshu Province, but with the support of Li Zhi, Li Su's power became more and more powerful. The young boy at that time has now become a towering tree and a powerful official.  .  No one can refuse the invitation to the wedding banquet of the Duke of Jin.  The wedding banquet was very lively and grand, but the guests who came to congratulate the wedding were confused.  Such an extravagant wedding was originally supposed to be a grand occasion for marrying a real wife, but the Duke of Jin already has a real wife. What on earth will the Princess of Dongyang that he marries today be considered after entering the palace?  After all, there is no such thing as an "equal wife" these days. If it were a concubine, this pomp would be too exaggerated.  Li Su didn¡¯t give any explanation, only close friends such as Cheng Chumo, Wang brothers and others were forced to say a word.  "There are only two women in my life. They both love me deeply and are so kind to me. I can't classify them. They will all be my wives from now on, no matter how big or small they are." A lot has happened in the past three years.  Fortunately, the promotion of improved rice seeds proposed by Li Su in the first year of Yonghui did not encounter many obstacles. A group of conservative veterans, including Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, etc., took a neutral attitude towards the promotion of improved rice seeds.  So Li Zhi and Li Su Junchen cooperated and immediately ordered the implementation. Li Yifu, the young agricultural supervisor, personally went to the various states in the Tang Dynasty to supervise the implementation. Now it has achieved considerable results.  Also in the first year of Yonghui, Xu Mingzhu gave birth to Lin'er, Li Su's first son. The Li family was very happy and the whole family celebrated together. Li Su named his son "Siqi", which is derived from "The Analects of Confucius"  When you see a virtuous person, you think about it, and when you see an unworthy person, you have to reflect on yourself." On the second day after his birth, Li Zhi went out of the palace to visit him in person. Not only did he reward Li Siqi with generous gifts, but he also awarded Li Siqi the title of "Captain of Light Cars" on the spot.  Number.  His name was Fengya, but it was a pity that Li Su¡¯s eldest son was not an easy man. He was taught kung fu by Fang Laowu and Zheng Xiaolou from the age of three. One day ten years later, when Li Siqi was wandering in Chang¡¯an City, he met someone on the road.  The gangster defrauded the poor and extorted money. Ten-year-old Li Siqi was so angry that he not only chopped off the gangster's legs with a knife, but also arranged for the Li family to set up an ambush and kill all the gangster's more than a dozen accomplices.  This incident shocked the powerful circles of Chang'an City. Everyone said that the Qilin's son of the Li family was a born general, like his father, and his future achievements would be limitless.  In the third year of Yonghui, the first child of Li Zhi and Wu was born. He was named Li Hong and was named the acting king.  In the same year, the Wu family was finally named Zhaoyi. Also in this year, the relationship between the Wu family and Queen Wang gradually became hostile.  In the sixth year of Yonghui, after six years of recuperation and the introduction of improved rice varieties with higher yields per mu, the people of the Tang Dynasty finally gradually recovered their vitality. At that time, the national treasury was full, and grain and rice warehouses were full in various places. In these six years, the borders of the Tang Dynasty were basically  There was no war, except for a few small-scale conflicts with Goguryeo and Tibet, which were all settled diplomatically.  At the end of the sixth year of Yonghui, Li Su once again put forward new political views, encouraging private merchants to build various workshops, recruiting farmers and farmers to work to subsidize their families, and sending envoys to negotiate trade with neighboring countries.  This political view was unanimously opposed by the veterans headed by Changsun Wuji. Li Su dealt with it calmly. With the secret support of Li Zhi, he finally passed the new policy forcefully. However, because of this matter, Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi  The relationship with Li Su also gradually took a turn for the worse and became cold.  From then on, Changsun Wuji's attitude in the court gradually became tougher. He had many conflicts with Li Zhi on political affairs. The imperial power was gradually squeezed by the ministers. Li Zhi gradually became jealous and wanted to remove powerful ministers. Li Su persuaded  Li Zhi held back, planned and then acted, Li Zhi followed his words.  Four years later, in the fourth year of Xianqing, Li Zhi's love for Wu became more and more profound. Wu helped Li Zhi too much in both palace affairs and state affairs. Li Zhi, driven by gratitude and interests, wanted to dethrone the king and establish Wu, so he summoned Li Zhi.  Li Su asked him for his opinion. Li Su thought for a long time and only said, "This is your Majesty's family matter. Why ask outsiders?" After Li Zhi was deposed, he became more determined to establish a military force.  At the court meeting of the same year, Li Zhi proposed to abolish the post, but was fiercely opposed by Changsun Wuji and other veterans. The court was in an uproar. The conflict between Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji finally became so acute that it could not be reconciled.  Three months later, Li Zhi suddenly summoned Li Su to the palace and granted You Wuwei the tiger talisman document for dispatching troops.  Li Su led his troops that night to attack Changsun's Mansion, and took Changsun Wuji and his children to prison. The next day at the court meeting, Xu Jingzong, who was the Minister's Minister at the time, reported that Changsun Wuji had colluded with the courtiers to conspire., Li Zhi immediately issued an order to remove Changsun Wuji's official position and title, and his family fled to Qianzhou. Changsun Wuji sadly withdrew from the stage of history as a loser.  In July of the same year, Duke Li Su of the Jin Dynasty was appointed as the right servant of Shangshu Province, and eventually became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.  In the second month after Li Su took office as Youpuse, Li Zhi deposed the king and queen, and Wu was finally canonized as queen amidst controversy.  Starting from this year, Li Su and the Wu family entered the honeymoon period of cooperation. With the support of Li Zhi and the Wu family, Li Su accelerated the pace of implementing various new policies. The world benefited, the people hid wealth, and the people praised the emperor's kindness.  Because of the agreement between Li Su and Li Zhi, the emperor and his ministers insisted on running in front of the Tai Chi Palace every day until they were sweating profusely. Li Zhi's body never had any problems. Instead, he became stronger and stronger.  Six years after the honeymoon period, in the first year of Longshuo (an emperor who likes to keep changing his reign is also drunk), the world is rich, the treasury is full, the people are peaceful, and the voices of praise from the government and the public are getting louder, so the Wu family persuades Li Zhi to confer Zen status on Mount Tai  , because Feng Chan was too laborious for the people and money, Li Su went to the palace to face the emperor to admonish him. Li Zhi accepted his admonishment, but Wu family hated Li Su from then on, and their honeymoon period was over.  The Wu family instigated close courtiers to falsely accuse Li Su of treason and listed many evidences. Before Li Su could defend himself, the Wu family was severely reprimanded by Li Zhi.  In the spring of the next year, a major case suddenly broke out in the court. Li Yifu, the young agricultural supervisor, accused the agricultural supervisor Cheng of colluding with foreign countries to steal and sell improved rice seeds for profit. Li Zhi was shocked and ordered a strict investigation, which led to the murder of the Japanese monk Daozhao many years ago.  The governor of Yongzhou ordered an investigation and found that there were many doubts about Daozhao's so-called "accidental death". After investigating and interrogating the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, he found that Daozhao had a close relationship with the Wu family, and that Daozhao had left many unsent letters before his death.  It describes in detail the exchanges between Dao Zhao and the Wu family. Dao Zhao promised that if the Wu family could introduce rice seeds to the Japanese country, he would be grateful in large sums of money, and how the Wu family was dissatisfied with the meager remuneration, and the two gradually became enmity.  At this point, many of the evidences of the murders are self-evident, and all the evidence points to Wu.  As the empress of the Tang Dynasty, she actually murdered a foreign monk. This case caused a huge stir in the court.  Li Zhi was also shocked, but Wu could not argue. In April of the same year, Li Zhi issued an order to depose Empress Wu and demote her to Yeting.  Li Su¡¯s New Deal made the Tang Dynasty more prosperous and powerful, and the treasury accumulated many years of grain, grass and money. From then on, the Tang Dynasty officially entered its prosperous age.  In the spring of the first year of Qianfeng's reign, when the Tang Dynasty was accumulating national strength, Li Zhi personally conquered Goguryeo. He appointed Li Ji as the general manager of the march on Pyongyang Road, and Li Su as the general manager of the march on Liaodong Road. They also appointed Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and others as generals, leading 100,000 troops, divided into land and water.  hit.  Firearms of the Tang Dynasty once again played a huge role in this battle. The Tang army conquered ten cities and marched under the city of Anshi. They used the explosive pack invented by Li Suxin to blow up the gate of Anshi City. When the city was breached, the guard Yang Wanchun  He committed suicide and the Goguryeo army fled hundreds of miles.  In September of the same year, the forwards of the Tang army arrived at Pyongyang, the capital. The leader of Goguryeo, Gaozang, was old and the defenders in the city were demoralized. The leader of Goguryeo had to open the city gates and surrender. The entire territory of Goguryeo was conquered by the Tang Dynasty, putting Yixue into disgrace.  At the same time, the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty were in turmoil. Countries were dissatisfied with the high-pressure policies of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. In the fourth year of Qianfeng, more than 20 countries in the Western Regions formed a coalition to cut off the Silk Road and attacked the Anxi Protectorate.  Hou Junji, who was the governor of the Anxi Protectorate at the time, led an army to resist. After a bloody battle, the coalition forces were repelled. Hou Junji was also seriously injured. Li Zhi ordered an additional 50,000 troops to be sent to the Western Regions, and at the same time, Hou Junji was transferred to Chang'an for recuperation.  Before leaving, Hou Junji recommended Wang Zhuang to take over the position of governor and command the Tang army in the Western Regions. Li Zhizhun reported.  Because of the emergence of Li Su, history has undergone considerable deviations. The original short-lived emperor turned out to be a rare long-lived emperor in history.  At the age of fifty, he was at the peak of his career. Li Su, who held great power, suddenly went to court to retire. In recent years, due to the implementation of the New Deal and his achievements in the battle against Goguryeo, his prestige in the court and among the people has gradually deepened.  Li Su resigned, and Li Zhi and the court officials were shocked. Li Zhi repeatedly begged to stay, but Li Su was resolute. In desperation, Li Zhi had no choice but to agree, and named Li Su Sikong, with the third rank of Zhongshu.  At the age of seventy-five, Li Zhi, who was becoming increasingly weak in energy, decisively decided to abdicate. Prince Li Hong ascended the throne to inherit the throne, and Li Zhi was revered as the Supreme Emperor.  After Li Hong ascended the throne, he begged Li Zhi to release his biological mother Wu from Yeting and honor her as the empress dowager. Li Zhi agreed to release her from Yeting, but was not allowed to honor Wu as the empress dowager. Li Hong personally visited Li Su's door and asked Li Su to take her place.  plead.  After Li Su agreed, he presented a memorial to Li Zhi as a commoner, asking him to honor Wu as the empress dowager. Li Zhi hesitated again and again, but finally reluctantly agreed for Li Su's sake.  After stepping down from the emperor's throne, Li Zhi felt relaxed and immediately arrived at Li Su's home.  This year, Li Su is eighty years old, a rare person with a long life.  Xu Mingzhu and Dongyang were in love with Li Su until they grew old, and gave birth to four sons and three daughters for him. In the past few years, the two daughters had already passed away.They died separately, and the three of them never said such disgusting words as "growing old together", but Li Su and them actually did it.  At this time, Li Su was lying in the yard basking in the sun. Seeing Li Zhi coming to the door, Li Su stood up tremblingly, but was stopped by Li Zhi before he could salute.  "They are all old bones. There is no need to pay attention to these false etiquettes. Don't show your waist." Li Zhi laughed.  Li Su coughed twice and said in a weathered voice: "I just fell asleep under this ginkgo tree and had a dream" "What dream did you have?" "I dreamed that I was thousands of years in the future" Li Su  His eyes were cloudy and his eyelids were drooped, as if he would fall asleep at any moment: "Thousands of years from now, there will be many novel things, including airplanes, rockets, televisions, and mobile phones" Li Zhi laughed and said, "I'm talking nonsense again.  "I see you are really confused. You always say things you don't understand." Li Su smiled and said, "Yes, my mind has become more and more confused in recent years. Sometimes I don't even know what I said. Close your mouth."  My eyes are full of things that I don¡¯t know what to call. When I open my eyes, I see fields and mountains" "Whether it is Zhuang Zhou dreaming of butterflies or butterflies dreaming of Zhuang Zhou, I have been thinking about this question for many years, but I still can't figure it out." "Li  Zhi said angrily: "Can you think of something useful? Just think about what to eat tonight." After taking a long breath, Li Zhi said with a smile: "Okay, now I am no longer the emperor.  Give it to Hong'er. I have been in office for more than fifty years. I am worthy of the country and the people. I may have some regrets, but so what? Everyone has regrets more or less in their life" Li Zhi said naggingly.  Li Su was sleeping next to her, but she was still drowsy.  Li Zhi pushed him dissatisfied: "Hey, did you hear what I said?" Li Su hummed lazily: "I heard it, I heard it" Li Zhi smiled and asked: "What about you? Have you heard anything?  Regret?" Li Su drooped his eyelids, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I have no regrets, but I have a big secret, which I have never told anyone" Li Zhi said hurriedly: "  What's the secret? Tell me quickly!" Li Su didn't speak and closed his eyes, as if falling asleep again.  Li Zhi pushed him dissatisfied, but Li Su had no reaction.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Late at night, Mrs. Wu, who had just returned to the harem from Yeting, was wearing a Taoist robe, sitting in front of the statue of Laojun and silently reciting the Heart Sutra.  After being imprisoned in Yeting again that year, Wu finally became disheartened, so she began to believe in Buddhism devoutly, and was accepted into the harem as the empress dowager by Li Hong. She did not change her faith and did her lessons morning and night.  ??Mr. Wu is also seventy-eight years old this year, and life is probably like this.  The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted Wu's chanting. Li Hong, the eldest son who had just ascended the throne, walked quickly into the palace, saluted Wu, and said in a hurry: "Mother, I just received a funeral report from outside the palace. The Duke of Jin  Li Su passed away. " Mrs. Wu suddenly opened her eyes, her dull eyes flashed inexplicably, and then she sighed softly.  Half a lifetime of entanglements and half a lifetime of grudges all came to mind at this moment, and Wu had mixed feelings.  "He passed away at eighty, and his merits have been fulfilled." Li Hong showed a look of sorrow: "The country has lost a famous minister, and the country is in mourning!" Mrs. Wu sighed softly: "Your Majesty took care of his funeral, so you can give him a funeral rite."  "Mother, don't worry, the Li family are all loyal ministers. I will not treat them badly." Seeing that the Wu family didn't seem to have anything else to say, Li Hong responded.  He bowed to her and left.  When he was almost outside the palace gate, Mrs. Wu suddenly stopped him.  "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no one has made more contributions than anyone else. He is a legend in this world. I would like to erect a monument for Li Su." Li Hong nodded: "Li Su has made great contributions and erecting a monument is not an exaggeration.  Mother, what is the inscription on?" Mrs. Wu turned her back to him, her eyes were red, but her tone was normal: "There is no need to write a word, just an empty monument. I erected this monument for him personally. I want it to be right.  What he said is in his heart, and future generations don¡¯t need to know.¡± ************************************  **** The whole book is finished.  ??Thanks to my friends for their persistence over the past three years.
